Former British world number one Andy Murray I do not rule out ending my tennis career this season.
Murray, 36, lost to Frenchman Hugo Humbert in the second round of the Dubai tournament on Wednesday with a score of 2:6, 4:6. During the match, the two-time Olympic champion behaved emotionally and broke his racket on the referee tower.
“I still love competing, I love tennis. But as you get older, it becomes more and more difficult to compete with younger players, to stay fit, to stay fresh. I probably don’t have much left. But I will do my best in the coming months.
Yes, I want to say that I probably won’t play again after this summer. I get asked this question after every match, every tournament I participate in. To be honest, this question bores me. I’m not going to talk about it anymore until it’s time to stop.
Do I plan to participate in Roland Garros? Maybe yes. “In recent years I have tried to prepare better for the grass season, but that doesn’t guarantee that you will perform well on grass either,” Murray was quoted as saying by the Express.
Murray is the winner of three Grand Slam singles tournaments. The Briton ranks 67th in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings.
